5 must try foods in Madrid!
Madrid is a city famous for its food. Here we have our top 5 dishes to share
with you!
Cocido Madrileño
After being stewed for hours and hours, this
delicious dish is sure to cure you of the cold
winter weather!
Cocido is a pork stew flavoured with chickpea, chorizo and vegetables and is the go-to winter
dish here in Madrid.
Jamón Ibérico
Jamón Ibérico may well be known as one of Spain’s most famous foods, and we can see why. Its meaty, salty taste is a firm favourite of ours!
The best quality Jamón Ibérico comes from black pigs, originally from the South of Spain.
The finest jamón ibérico comes from pigs that were fed acorns.
Bocadillo de Calamares
Although it sounds basic, the bocadillo de calamares (fried squid sandwich) washed down with a caña is something you need to try!
We recommend heading to Plaza Mayor, the best place to get your hands on a bocadillo de calamares.
Huevos rotos
Huevos rotos, literally translated to ‘broken eggs’ and is absolutely delicious. The dish is fried potato strips topped with broken fried eggs.
Some restaurants also give the option of adding extra toppings such as jamón or chorizo.
Churros con Chocolate
Churros con chocolate are one of Madrid’s most famous sweet dishes. A deep fried stick of dough are dipped in a thick cup of hot chocolate, what’s not to love?!
One of Madrid’s most famous, and best, places to get Churros con Chocolate is the San Gines Chocolatería, just off of Sol.
